To do this, pull up YouTube on your computer. Click on the &#8220;OLD&#8221; icon at the top of the page. You&#8217;ll be redirected to the old YouTube layout. Follow these steps to switch back to the old layout. You&#8217;ll need to change your browser cookies in order to do this.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_your_browser_cookies\"><\/span>Change your browser cookies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are sick and tired of the new YouTube layout, you can easily switch back to the old style by changing your browser cookies. You can either change your homepage&#8217;s pref value to f6 or use the PREF cookie. The former method works best for older versions of YouTube. It may require some work, but it&#8217;s an easy way to restore the old look. But before you do so, be sure to read the instructions thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>The process is similar for Mozilla Firefox users. First, you must download an extension called Switch for YouTube. Then, go to the site that provides instructions for reverting to the old layout. This will restore the old YouTube layout on Firefox. This process is permanent, but be aware that newer versions of Chrome may not accept the extension. Once you&#8217;ve installed the extension, follow the directions listed on the website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restore_the_old_YouTube_layout\"><\/span>Restore the old YouTube layout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to revert back to the old YouTube layout, you have two options: either use Chrome or another browser. However, you can&#8217;t do both. The problem is that if you use Chrome, you can&#8217;t access YouTube unless you change your browser settings. This is where good old YouTube comes into play. This tool promises to restore the old YouTube layout. But it doesn&#8217;t work in the current version of YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>To restore the old YouTube layout, you&#8217;ll need to first download a software called Tampermonkey. The program can work on many different browsers, including Microsoft Edge and Safari. It&#8217;s also compatible with other browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Dolphin Browser. In addition to working with Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, Tampermonkey can work on other sites, including the old YouTube layout. This tutorial will show you how to restore the old YouTube layout.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Revert_back_to_the_old_YouTube_UI\"><\/span>Revert back to the old YouTube UI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might have noticed the new YouTube layout in beta, but it&#8217;s now available to everyone. If you&#8217;re one of the many users who don&#8217;t like the new layout, you can revert back to the old YouTube layout by visiting this page. It will bring the homepage of the site back to its old layout. You can also use GoodOldYouTube to bring back the old YouTube layout, but it&#8217;s important to remember that this isn&#8217;t currently compatible with YouTube&#8217;s new design.<\/p>\n<p>The most common way to get back to the old YouTube layout is to change your browser&#8217;s cookie settings. By changing the PREF value, you can switch to the language that YouTube uses. You can also reload the page to see the old layout. You can try these methods to revert back to the old YouTube layout. One of the most famous methods involves tweaking browser cookies. Once you do that, YouTube will display the old layout.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_YouTube\"><\/span>Change YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So you want to change the name of your YouTube channel. But how? There are a few ways to go about it. First, you have to verify your email address and confirm your recovery information. You will also need to enter a new channel name. Be careful when changing the name of your YouTube channel, as some subscribers may not recognize it, and they may unsubscribe from you as a result. Also, you must inform your subscribers about the name change, as this will void the verification badge, and they must reapply to view your video.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube has also made it easier for creators to change their channel name and profile picture without changing their Google accounts. Now, you can update both inside YouTube without worrying about affecting your Gmail account. The name icon in Gmail used to be identical to your YouTube name, which didn&#8217;t make much sense from a branding perspective. In addition, you might be more comfortable sending emails under your actual name rather than your channel name. And if you&#8217;d like to add your personal details in your channel, you can do so using the snippet.thumbnails property.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improve_YouTube\"><\/span>Improve YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a simple, yet powerful way to improve the experience of watching videos on YouTube, the free and open source Improve YouTube! is just the tool you&#8217;re looking for. With over 42 unique features, this app makes watching videos on YouTube a better experience than ever before. You can adjust the size of the player and change the themes, turn off ads, and much more. The app also comes with a host of other useful features, such as auto HD colors, playback speed control, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to improve your video-viewing experience is to allow users to &#8220;share&#8221; your videos with their friends. It&#8217;s a simple, but crucial, feature that has the potential to have a profound impact on customer experience. It&#8217;s not difficult to implement and can be expanded over time. YouTube users are much more likely to rate videos than algorithms can, so the &#8220;share with friend&#8221; feature will be a small but impactful addition.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"202\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ws35vlC_jPw\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"362\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Switch Back to the Old YouTube UI?
